30
Q

Which LNs receive lymph from inferior pelvic viscera, deep perineum and the gluteal region, draining into the common iliac nodes?

A

Internal iliac LNs

31
Q

Which LNs receive lymph from postero-inferior pelvic viscera, and drain into internal or common iliac nodes?

A

Sacral LNs

32
Q

Which LNs receive lymph from external iliac, internal iliac, and sacral LNs, and drain into the lumbar nodes?

Common iliac nodes

33
Q

Pelvic structures are innervated mainly by the ____ and ____ nerves, and the ________ nerves

A

Sacral; coccygeal spinal; pelvic splanchnic

[sacral and coccygeal = S1-S5, Co; pelvic splanchnics = S2-S4]

34
Q

The sacral plexus is located on the posterolateral wall of the pelvic cavity and has what 4 branches which exit the pelvic cavity through the greater sciatic foramen?

A

Sciatic n. (L4-S3)

Pudendal n. (S2-S4)

Superior gluteal n. (L4-S1)

Inferior gluteal n. (L4-S2)

35
Q

Which branch of the sacral plexus enters the perineum via the lesser sciatic foramen and is contained in its own canal? What does it supply?

A

Pudendal n. (S2-S4) — supplies all perineal structures

36
Q

Which branch of the sacral plexus enters the gluteal region to supply the gluteaus maximus?

A

Inferior gluteal n. (L4-S2)

37
Q

Which branch of the sacral plexus enters the gluteal region to supply the gluteus medius and minimis?

A

Superior gluteal n. (L4-S1)

38
Q

Which branch of the sacral plexus travels inferior to piriformis to enter gluteal region, descending into the posterior thigh to supply the hamstring muscles, leg, and foot?

A

Sciatic n. (L4-S3)

39
Q

What makes up the coccygeal plexus?

40
Q

The coccygeal plexus lies on the pelvic surface of the ______ m. The ______ nerve arises from this plexus and supplies the skin between the tip of the coccyx and the anus

A

Coccygeus; anococcygeal

41
Q

What 3 structures are supplied by the coccygeal plexus?

A

Coccygeus m.
Levator ani
Sacrococcygeal joint

42
Q

The pelvic autonomic nn. include what 2 groups of nerves?

A

Hypogastric plexuses

Pelvic splanchnic nerves

43
Q

The ______ plexus supplies the sympathetic innervation to pelvis viscera. In addition, _____ _____ fibers pass through this plexus

A

Hypogastric; visceral afferent

44
Q

What nerves supply parasympathetic innervation to the pelvic viscera, including the rectum and proximal anal canal (internal anal sphincter)?

A

Pelvic splanchnic nn.

45
Q

Branches of the inferior hypogastric plexuses continue to the pelvic viscera upon which they form sub-plexuses collectively known as pelvic plexuses

What are these sub-plexuses associated with in males vs. females?

A

In both male and female, sub-plexuses are associated with the lateral rectum and the inferolateral urinary bladder

In males = prostate and seminal vesicles; parasympathetic fibers in prostatic plexus penetrate pelvic diaphragm to reach erectile tissues in penis, producing erection
